Description

A presentation by Dr Kim Ritman from the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources on Bio secuity threats to agriculture in Australia. Kim will talk about some examples of the threats and challenges facing Australia, in biosecurity, through his role as Australia’s Chief Plant Protection Officer.

"Australia arguably has the best biosecurity system in the world. Biosecurity is critical to protect Australia’s $60 billion-a-year agriculture industry, our environment and community from severe pests and diseases. Biosecurity protects farmers and producers—and their profits—and supports Australia’s ability to produce and export clean, safe and sustainable agricultural goods. "
